According to the data of the press conference held by the Ministry of Education on February 28th, 20 18, up to now, 2,379 counties in China have achieved a basically balanced development of compulsory education, and more than 500 counties have failed the national assessment. The balanced development level of compulsory education in these more than 500 counties is not only significantly lower than the national standard, but also lower than the more than 2,300 counties that have been identified, and it is concentrated in the central and western regions.
This requires local authorities to work hard to implement the requirements of "three growth", effectively guarantee the investment in compulsory education, actively adapt to the general trend of new urbanization, household registration system reform and integrated development of urban and rural compulsory education, and gradually establish a unified funding guarantee mechanism for urban and rural compulsory education.
In view of the shortage of teachers in backward and remote areas, it is necessary to innovate policy and institutionalized incentive mechanisms such as establishment management, exchange training and post allowance, solve the structural shortage of teachers in these areas in a targeted manner, and continuously improve the balanced level of allocation of educational resources between schools and between urban and rural areas.
Extended data:
Balanced development is only an important step to promote the development of compulsory education, and the longer-term goal should be to continuously improve the overall quality of compulsory education.
At the same time, we should also see that even many schools that have passed the evaluation still have room for continuous improvement in deepening education reform and developing quality education. In particular, the phenomenon of making up lessons after class, which has attracted much attention recently, is tantamount to raising the problem of "new balance" between schools and needs to be paid attention to by relevant departments.
A century-long plan, education-oriented. Education is a basic project related to the prosperity of a nation and a country, and it is also a cause that needs the constant attention and continuous investment of a country and society. To fulfill the promise of "making every child enjoy a fair and quality education", only by making persistent efforts can we make a long-term contribution.
